Purpose-built density server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 2.6GHz 8-core processors and 768GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. A PERC H730 1GB controller manages 24 front-access 2.5-inch 2.4TB 10K SAS drives, delivering high-capacity local storage in a compact chassis. Dual 750W platinum power supplies and an Intel X520/I350 quad-port network daughter card with two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ connections complete the platform.

Fit and limits

This configuration suits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, database clusters or data-warehouse nodes that benefit from dense rotational storage and integrated remote management via iDRAC 8 Enterprise. Workloads that demand solid-state latency, all-flash arrays or GPU-accelerated compute will not find the required media or expansion slots in this chassis. Buyers needing more than two processors or memory beyond the 1.5TB ceiling should evaluate larger platforms.

Deciding specification

The defining attribute is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the H730 controller, which supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This combination determines whether the server can deliver the throughput and redundancy your storage topology requires.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 24-bay 2.5-inch version with 24 drives or a smaller bay count?

The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis filled with 24 × 2.4TB SAS drives gives the highest raw capacity and IOPS density in this 2U form factor; fewer bays would reduce both.

What does the 768GB DDR4 figure mean for actual workloads?

768GB (24 × 32GB modules) at 2133MHz registered ECC supports large virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases or VDI deployments with room to grow to the 1.5TB maximum.

How does the H730 controller’s 12Gb/s SAS interface limit real-world drive speed?

The PERC H730 runs each 2.4TB 10K SAS drive at up to 12Gb/s, so the backplane and controller together set the practical throughput ceiling for the 24-drive array.
